"Blake Snell has been excellent of late, but it didn't seem like he had his best stuff or command tonight, and those are the starts where the greats separate themselves by limiting damage. That's exactly what Snell was able to do today, though they did scratch across a run early. A lead-off double was advanced to third on a groundout, then a walk cornered the runners, and a sac fly accounted for a run - the only one Snell would allow. Carroll then stole second and third, but a strikeout got Snell out of the 1st."
"He then gave up an infield single with two down in the 2nd, worked around a lead-off infield single in the 3rd, and then did the same for a lead-off single in the 4th. Snell then got his first clean inning in the 5th, before facing the minimum in the 6th thanks to yet another lead-off infield single being erased by a double play. Stuff wasn't dominant as it usually is, but four of the hits were of the infield variety: 6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 K, 95 Pitches."
Blake Snell worked six innings, allowing one run on five hits with one walk and five strikeouts while throwing 95 pitches. Several opponents' hits were infield singles and Snell escaped jams via strikeouts and a double play. Shohei Ohtani delivered a leadoff triple. Tommy Edman and Andy Pages produced key offense, with Pages hitting his 26th homer to make it 3-1. The Dodgers added insurance in the eighth after a Mookie Betts single and a two-out Teoscar Hernandez double. The bullpen featured the return of Roki Sasaki in a reliever role.
